Hollywood's hidden agenda

KSL is reporting on a Federal court ruling against film editors. <a
href="http://www.ksl.com/?sid=347823&nid=148">Story Here</a>. I have
stopped watching movies in the theaters and have waited to get the
'edited' version at home because I don't enjoy Hollywood's gratuitous
inclusion of amoral ideas, verbiage, and depictions which, 90% of the
time, have no bearing on the story line.

The edited movie boxes include the original and edited versions side-
by-side and allow the consumer full choice on what to view.

Why should this be illegal? What is the difference between watching a
shortened version of a movie and reading excerpts of a political
speech in the Wall Street Journal? Aren't both just providing options
to consumers? Why aren't speech writers demanding that their work
should be read in entirety?

It seems Hollywood is more interested in debasing us than in
providing entertainment to the largest possible audience.
